I was picked up at the hotel, and although it started raining on the way, it stopped when we arrived. Then it rained again when we got on the boat, but it stopped once more. I was most concerned about the water level, but it was low, and we actually had a sandy beach! ❤
The staff were kind and friendly, taking photos with us and even acting as photographers, so we got a lot of great pictures. ✌
Right after that, we went snorkeling, and the staff provided very thorough instructions on putting on life jackets and masks, checking everything, and practicing to ensure that even first-timers could do it safely.
During snorkeling, the staff were always with us, making sure we didn't bump into the coral and showing us where the turtles were, so we could enjoy watching beautiful fish and turtles while feeling safe.
The BBQ on the boat was also very delicious, and we really had a great time and made wonderful memories.
Thank you so much to all the friendly staff. I definitely want to use this tour again when I visit Hawaii next time.
ホテルでピックアップしてもらい、行く途中に雨が降ってきたのに着いたらやみ、船に乗ったらまた雨が降ってきてまたやみ、という繰り返しでしたが、一番気にしていた水位も低くなんと砂浜でした❤
スタッフの人も優しく親切で一緒に写真を撮ったり、カメラマンになってくれたりでいい写真が沢山撮れました✌
その後すぐにシュノーケリングでしたが、ライフジャケットの装着からマスクの装着の説明、点検、練習と、初めての方でも事故の無いようにととても丁寧な対応でした。
シュノーケリングではスタッフの人が常に一緒で珊瑚に当たらないよう見ていてくれたり、カメの居場所を教えてくれたりと安心して綺麗な魚やカメを見ながらシュノーケリングできました。
また船上のBBQもとても美味しくてほんとにいい時間、いい思い出ができました。
フレンドリーなスタッフの皆さま、本当にありがとうございました。
また今度ハワイに行った時も是非利用したいツアーです。

It was an activity within the hotel where we stayed, so transportation was easy. I was reminded of the dolphins' intelligence when interacting with them. Time seemed to fly by, and while I felt the price was high, the kids were happy, so it was worth it.
There was a pricing structure, and we signed up for the higher option, but I couldn't really tell the difference from what others were experiencing.
宿泊したホテル内でのアクティビティでしたので、移動は楽でした。イルカに接して賢さを改めて感じました。あっと言う間に時間が過ぎた感じがして、お値段的には高いと感じましたが、子供達が喜んでいたので、よかったです。
料金設定があり、うちは高いので申し込みましたが、周りの人との違いはよくわかりませんでした。

The day after the wedding, eight family members from both sides (ages 21 to 65) participated. The weather was nice, and we enjoyed walking slowly along the sandbar together. We took a lot of photos, and the staff were kind and helpful, which we appreciated.
For snorkeling, we were told we would swim in a spot where our feet wouldn't touch the bottom for 20 minutes. Since both mothers from each family were not confident, I decided to stay back as well. However, we were able to rent a boat and snorkel in shallower areas, which was a lot of fun. We even got to swim with sea turtles in the shallow water! By the way, my 65-year-old father really enjoyed snorkeling too (laughs).
The BBQ lunch was buffet-style, and the meat was tastier than I expected! There were also desserts. The staff were attentive and asked if we wanted more juice, which made us very satisfied!
結婚式翌日、両家の家族8人(21~65歳)で参加しました。
天気もよく、サンドバーをゆっくりみんなで歩いて楽しかったです。写真もたくさん撮っていただいて、スタッフのみなさんも優しくてありがたかったです。
シュノーケリングは20分間足がつかない場所で泳ぐとのことで、両家の母親が自信がないと残ったので私も残ったのですが、ボートの貸し出しや浅い場所でのシュノーケリングをさせていただき、とても楽しかったです。浅いところでもしっかりウミガメと泳げました!ちなみに65歳の父はしっかりシュノーケリング楽しめたそうです₍笑₎
BBQランチはビュッフェスタイルですが、お肉が思ったよりおいしかったです!デザートもありました。ジュースのおかわりもスタッフの方が気を遣って聞いてくれたりして大満足でした!
Aloha! Congratulations on your wedding. Thank you very much for having everyone from both families participate.
You were able to swim with the sea turtles, huh? We look forward to the day we can meet again, along with the sea turtles.
アロハ!ご結婚おめでとうございます。両家の皆様でご参加頂き本当にありがとうございました。
ウミガメとも泳げたんですね。また皆様にお会い出来る日をウミガメとともにお待ちしております。

It's the best experience! The crew's service, the delicious food, and above all, the beauty of the ocean...!!
The flow of the tour was as follows:
- Early morning pickup in front of the hotel
- Everyone gathered at the dock
(There were about 30 people in total. We were the only Japanese.)
- Breakfast buffet in the order of boarding
(There was plenty of bread, muffins, fruits, etc.)
- Snorkeling at Molokini Island
(The clarity was amazing... we saw various tropical fish, including angelfish.)
- Lunch
(We had burgers. The meat was grilled on the boat, and it smelled great. We could choose from about three types.)
- Snorkeling at a point called Turtle Town
(We were able to swim close to sea turtles. The beauty of the ocean here was also incredible... thanks to the sunlight, the seabed sparkled, and it was breathtakingly beautiful.)
- On the way back to the dock, we enjoyed beer (as much as you want; it's all-you-can-drink.)
- We were driven back to the pickup location and then dispersed.
☆ Advice
- Once on the boat, sit near the entrance indoors. The view from the second floor is beautiful, but it gets really hot.
- Organic sunscreen was provided on the boat, but it turns quite white when applied, so it might be better to bring your own to avoid looking like a clown.
- When there's sunlight, your back and calves can get burned! Make sure to apply and reapply sunscreen.
- Lunch can get quite crowded, so it's best to grab it early. Getting it early will also help with your condition for the next snorkeling session.
I wrote various pieces of advice, all of which I learned from KANA, the crew member who provided Japanese support. I really appreciated her help. I gave a tip to KANA personally when disembarking. She was bright, attentive, and a wonderful person.
We missed it, but it seems that whales could be seen even in April. There were also whale sharks. You can expect more fun than just snorkeling, so if you visit Maui, definitely participate!
最高の一言です。クルーの対応、食事のおいしさ、何より海のきれいさ…!!
ツアーの流れとしては次のようなかんじです。
・早朝ホテル前でピックアップ
・船着場でみんな集合
(全部で30人ほどだったでしょうか。日本人は私たちだけでした。)
・乗船した順に、朝食バイキング
(パン、マフィン、フルーツなど、十分な量でした。)
・モロキニ島でシュノーケリング
(透明度がすばらしかったです…いろんな熱帯魚を見れました。エンゼルフィッシュもいました。)
・昼食
(バーガーでした。お肉は船で焼いてくれて、いい匂いが漂ってました。3種類くらいから選べました。)
・タートルタウンというポイントでシュノーケリング
(ウミガメと至近距離で泳ぐことができました。ここでも海のきれいさがすばらしくて…日差しがあったおかげで海底もキラキラしていて、言葉にならないきれいさでした。)
・船着場までの帰り道はビールを飲みながら(何杯でも。飲み放題です。)
・ピックアップ場所まで車で送ってもらって解散
☆アドバイス
・船に乗船したら屋内で出入口から近い席に座りましょう。船の2階も眺めはきれいですがめっちゃ焼けます。
・オーガニックの日焼け止めが船に用意されていましたが、塗ったらけっこう白くなるので、顔はバカ殿みたいにならないように、自前のものを塗って行った方が良いかもしれません。
・日差しがあると、背中やふくらはぎ等、体の裏側が焼けます!しっかり塗る&塗り直し必須です。
・昼食はけっこう並ぶので、早めにゲットしちゃいましょう。早めに消化させちゃったほうが次のシュノーケリングへのコンディションとしても良いと思います。
色々アドバイス書きましたが、これ全部、日本語サポートしてくれたクルーのKANAさんから教えてもらったものです。本当にお世話になりました。下船する際にチップをKANAさん個人へお渡ししました。明るくてサポートもきめ細かくて、とってもすてきな方でした。
私たちは見逃しましたが、4月でもクジラが見えたみたいです。ジンベイザメもいたとのこと。単なるシュノーケリング以上の楽しさが期待できるので、マウイ島に行かれた際はぜひ参加してみてください。

I traveled to Hawaii without deciding what to do and made reservations on-site. I booked the Segway and Kualoa Ranch by phone, but it was inconvenient without a local number. However, with Veltra, everything was done via email and in Japanese, which was super convenient...!!!
On Saturday morning, I wanted to go to the farmers' market featured in the manga "Chatterbox After Breakfast," so I reserved the afternoon barbecue lunch option.
Basically, wearing a swimsuit is fine. I wore a bikini-style swimsuit that looked almost like clothes, along with a cover-up and a T-shirt, and most people around me were dressed similarly.
Depending on the weather, the day I went was not great, and it was really cold. I passed by the morning group at the dock, and everyone looked cold, but aside from that, it was really good.
- The barbecue lunch was a buffet style on the boat, and surprisingly delicious.
- I encountered a sea turtle. It came close to the boat as if the captain was keeping it. It swam right next to us.
- The snorkeling was fun with high visibility.
- For those who want to try stand-up paddleboarding, it's available! I didn't do it, but I regretted not trying.
- Hot coffee and tea were also available.
- Photos can be downloaded from the web later.
They also lend wetsuits for free to those who want them. Onboard, they sell waterproof disposable cameras, beach shoes, rash guards, T-shirts, and anti-nausea bands. The prices aren't excessively high compared to the market, so it might be worth buying. They also offer rentals for waterproof digital cameras.
What I was glad I brought was a waterproof case for my phone. Depending on the time and season, the day I went had quite a bit of water, and there weren't any beautiful dry sandy beaches like in the guidebooks. The water level was consistently around chest to shoulder height. A regular phone would definitely get submerged.
I brought a regular-sized towel, but a slightly larger one or even a bath towel would have been better since it was cold.
I want to try again on a nice day!
ハワイで、なにをするかも決めずにバタバタと渡航して、現地から予約。セグウェイとかクアロアランチは電話予約したのですが、現地の番号がないと不便でしたが、ベルトラからだとオールEメール、オール日本語でめっちゃ便利....!!!
土曜、午前中は、漫画「おしゃべりは朝ごはんのあとで」のハワイ編でも紹介されていたファーマーズマーケットへ行きたかったので、午後のバーベキューランチ付きの方を予約。
基本的に水着を着てけばオーケー。わたしはビキニタイプのほぼ洋服みたいな水着に、はおりもの+Tシャツでいきましたが、周りもほとんど同じような感じです。
天候によりますが、わたしが行った日は天候に恵まれず、すごく寒かったです。。
船着場で午前便の人たちとすれ違ったのですが、皆さん寒そうでファンになりましたが、寒い、という以外はすごくよかったです。
-バーベキューランチは船上でビュッフェすたいるなんだけど、以外と美味しい。
-ウミガメ遭遇しました。キャプテンが飼ってるんじゃないかというくらい船に寄ってくる。リアルに横を泳ぐ。
-シュノーケルも透明度高くて楽しかった
-Supやりたい人は体験可能!これやらなかったんだけど、やればよかったと後悔。
-飲み物はホットのコーヒーとお茶もある
-写真は後日一枚、ウェブからダウンロード可能
ウェットスーツも希望者に無料で貸し出してくれます。
船上での販売物として、写ルンです(防水)、ビーチシューズ、ラッシュガード、Tシャツ、酔い止め防止バンドなどあります。相場より並外れて高いというほどではないので、購入してもいいかも。防水デジカメの貸し出しもあるそうです。
持って行ってよかったのは携帯の防水ケース。時間と時期によるのか、わたしが行った日はだいぶ水があって、ガイドブックに載ってるような干上がった美しい砂浜はなかったです。常に胸下から肩くらいまでの水位。普通の携帯なら確実に水没します。
タオルは普通サイズのタオルでいったんだけど、少し大きめか、いっそバスタオルがよかったかも。寒かったから。
天気いい時にリベンジしたい!
Aloha! Thank you for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour.
Thank you for the very detailed report! I hope it will be helpful for everyone. We look forward to welcoming you back, Chiyoko! With the sea turtles!

The Japanese guide and all the staff were very cheerful and made the experience enjoyable! However, the weather was bad with rain and wind, and it was very cold, so we couldn't see any beautiful scenery at all... Everyone was shivering... It made me want to go home early. There's nothing we can do about the weather, though. This is part of the nature experience. Towards the end, they served us warm drinks, which was a relief. To be honest, I wish they had served them a bit earlier.

This time, I participated with my 12-year-old son, and we were the only two on the tour. Although my son couldn't swim, they provided us with a float (noodle), so we could enjoy the activities with peace of mind. They arranged a large boat just for us, and the female captain was very kind! She told us where the dolphins were and changed the points so we could swim with them. It was incredibly moving to see the dolphins up close and swim with them. Most importantly, we could hear the dolphins communicating (echolocation) underwater. According to the captain, the secret lies in the boat's engine (it's quiet, so the dolphins don't escape).
After the dolphin swim, we had a plan to enjoy snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay, but on the way to the snorkeling point, they stopped the boat and guided us to a lava tube, making it a very satisfying tour! Above all, the time spent on the boat was very pleasant and enjoyable, and the view of the Big Island from the ocean was exceptional. The fruit we had on the boat after snorkeling was also chilled and delicious. The captain's hospitality was wonderful, and I’m really glad I participated in this tour, which allowed us to fully enjoy the nature of the Big Island. It was a valuable and wonderful experience for my child as well. Thank you very much!
今回は12歳の息子と参加し、ツアーは私たち母子の2人だけでした。
息子は泳げませんでしたが、浮き輪(ヌードル)を貸してくれるので、安心してそれぞれがアクティビティーを楽しむことができました。
大きなボートを私たちだけのために出してくれて、女性の船長さんはとても親切でした!
イルカがどこに居るか教えてくれたり、イルカと一緒に泳げるようにポイントを変えてくれたり。
イルカが間近で見られ、一緒に泳げてとても感動しました。そして、何よりもイルカ同士のコミュニケーション(=エコロケーション)を海中で聞くことができたことです。
船長さん曰く、ボートのエンジンに秘密があるとか(静かでイルカが逃げない)。
ドルフィンスイムの後はクアラケアベイでシュノーケリングを楽しむプランでしたが、シュノーケリングポイントに行くまでの道中、ボートを止めて、ラバチューブを案内してくれたりと、とても満足するツアーでした!
何より、ボートに乗っている間の時間がとても心地よく楽しくて、沖から見るハワイ島は格別でした。

I participated alone, and when I looked around, I was the only Japanese person there. I boarded the boat thinking it was a sightseeing cruise, and the view from the ship, including Kailua and the mountain ridges in the background, was incredibly beautiful. The boat went all the way to the cape in search of dolphins in Kailua Bay, then made a U-turn while the captain diligently searched for dolphins. It was worth it, as suddenly 6 to 10 dolphins appeared and swam around the boat for a few minutes. I was very excited to see wild dolphins up close. It took about 30 minutes to reach the snorkeling point, where we had about 2 hours for snorkeling and lunch. After that, we cruised around Kailua Bay in search of dolphins. I can't speak English, but the crew was very kind and friendly, providing explanations in Japanese.
一人で参加しました、周りを見ると日本人は私一人でした、私は観光船のつもりで乗船しましたので船上からの景色、カイルワ、その後方の山稜線はとっても美しい景色でした、船はイルカを求めてカイルワ湾を?岬の先まで行きUターンをして蛇行しながら船長が一生懸命イルカを探していましたそのかいがあり、突然イルカ6~10頭現れ船の周りを数分遊泳していました、野生のイルカを間近で見れ大変興奮しました、シュノーケルポイントまでは30分程度、ポイントでは2時間程度のシュノーケルと昼食の時間が有りました、その後カイルワ湾をイルカを求めてのクルージングでした、私は英語は話せませんが乗組員が大変親切(日本語の説明書で解説等)フレンドリーでした。

Waikiki was in the rainy season, and on that day, it was pouring rain on and off. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great, but my parents (in their 60s) and my 10-year-old child really enjoyed snorkeling at Hanauma Bay. The water temperature was low and a bit chilly, so we rented suits for $10 on the day. The guide, who also provided transportation, was very kind, and the three of us, being first-time snorkelers, were very pleased with the attentive service. I definitely recommend going with a guide!
I stayed at Hilton Hawaiian Village and mistakenly misunderstood the meeting place until the day of the event, and I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. I was unsure of what to do, so I was grateful to receive a call on the day. I would like to try again when I travel next time, hopefully in clear weather!
ワイキキは雨季か伸びており、当日も土砂降りの雨が降ったり止んだり・・生憎のお天気でしたが、両親(60代)と10歳の子供はハナウマ湾でのシュノーケルをとても楽しめたようです(^^) 水温が低く肌寒かったので、当日10ドルでスーツをお借りして潜りました。送迎兼インストラクターの方がとても親切だったようで、シュノーケル初の3人は丁寧な対応にとても喜んでいました。皆さんにも是非ガイド付きをおススメします‼︎ 当方、ヒルトンHVに宿泊し当日まで集合場所を勘違いしており、大変ご迷惑をお掛けし申し訳ありませんでした。どうしていいかわからなかったので、当日連絡を頂けて助かりました。また渡航の際、快晴の時に再チャレンジしたいと思います‼︎

The trip starts early so you can be the first on the water and the first to snorkel before the crowds show up. The paddle over to the Cook Monument was easy. We stopped for a history and a geology lesson which were interesting. Once the Kayaks were landed we walked to the Monument where we donned our snorkel gear and jumped into the water. Everywhere on the Big Island is difficult to enter the water. This was just an easy jump.
The fish were a wide variety with lots of groups of yellow butterfly fish. They come here for the waters which are a mix of fresh from the lad and salt water. The blurry effect of the waters mixing is fun. This place lets the fish clean themselves of irritants. The coral was fine but some was quite damaged.
The park only allows a limited number of snorkelers at this location. They should dial the numbers back as it became crowded quickly when five boats showed up about fifteen minutes after our snorkel started.
The paddle back was easy and it was still morning.

I signed up for this tour despite a busy schedule. The meeting time wasn't too early in the morning, and I was able to make it without any issues after breakfast. The meeting place was also close to the hotel, so I didn't get lost, but it's important to note that there were other tour groups at the meeting spot. It takes just under an hour by bus to reach the boarding location.
There were many Japanese participants on the boat, and the guide was also Japanese, making for a friendly atmosphere. We arrived at the sandbar about 20 minutes after departure. This time, the water was only ankle-deep due to low tide, which was surprising to find such a shallow area offshore.
We spent about an hour at the sandbar, enjoying volleyball with the guide and local staff. We had lunch (hamburgers) prepared by the local staff and went turtle watching. From the boat, we were able to see about 3 to 5 turtles. After that, we snorkeled for about an hour. While it’s said that you can occasionally see turtles while snorkeling, we didn’t spot any this time. However, there were various fish swimming around, and time flew by quickly.
I think this is a cost-effective tour.
ハードな日程の中、このツアーに申し込みました。
集合時間は朝早くなく、朝食後でも問題なく間に合いました。
集合場所もホテルの近くで迷うことなく行けましたが、集合場所には他のツアーの人もいるので注意が必要です。
乗船場所まではバスで1時間弱で着きます。
船は日本人参加者が多く、ガイドさんも日本の方で、フレンドリーな方々でした。
サンドバーは出港後約20分ほどで到着します。今回は干潮時で足首ほどの水深でした。沖にこんな浅瀬の場所があることにはビックリです。
サンドバーで約1時間ほどいましたが、ガイドさんや現地スタッフとのバレーボールを楽しめました。
現地スタッフが作ってくれた昼ご飯(ハンバーガー)を食べ、ウミガメウォッチです。船上からですが、3~5匹ほど見ることができました。
その後は1時間ほどのシュノーケリングで、まれにウミガメを見ることができるそうですが、今回は見ることができませんでした。ただ、魚がいろいろと群がっており、あっという間に時間は過ぎていきました。
費用対効果の高いツアーだと思います。

On this day, we were able to meet so many dolphins that even the photographers and guides were moved. It was a miraculous experience. Additionally, we could enjoy the unique scenery of the west side of Oahu, which offered a different flavor compared to the ocean tours on the east coast. I would love to participate again.
この日は、カメラマンやガイドも感動するほど、たくさんのイルカに会うことができました。奇跡の体験でした。
また、オアフ島の西側独特の景色を堪能できますので、東海岸での海のツアーとは違った味わいがありました。
また参加したいと思います。
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin Middle School! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the many wild dolphins and the scenery of the West Coast, which has been preserved just as it was in ancient Hawaii! We sincerely look forward to your next participation. MAHALO!!
ALOHA!! この度はイルカ中学にご参加いただきありがとうございました! たくさんの野生のイルカと、昔のハワイのまま残されている西海岸の風景をお楽しみいただけたようで何よりです! またのご参加を心よりお待ちしております、MAHALO!!

There are other tours to the heavenly sea, but Captain Bruce's tour was great. We were able to encounter relatively shallow areas. It was difficult to find pictures that looked too stylish, but there was about knee-deep shallow water.
天国の海ツアーは他にもあるが、キャプテンブルースのツアーは良かった。比較的浅瀬のところに出くわすことができた。写真のようなオシャレすぎる絵は難しく膝上ぐらいの浅さはあった。
Aloha! I'm really happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour. Please come back and visit us again. I hope next time you'll encounter the "too stylish" sandbar.
アロハ!ツアー良かったっておっしゃって頂いて本当に嬉しいです。
またぜひ遊びにいらして下さいね。次回は”オシャレすぎる”サンドバーに出会えますように。

I chose this tour because Captain Bruce's tour can take you to the shallowest spots, and although it was a bit pricey, I wanted to ensure a good experience. I checked the low tide times and made a reservation, but the water was up to my knees. I was disappointed. To reach the shallowest area, you have to wade through water up to your waist, so be prepared to get wet. It was unfortunate that the weather was bad and I couldn't see the views I was hoping for. That's just luck. I didn't want to get my face wet, so I skipped snorkeling, but I enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding. I felt that 30,000 yen, including tips, was expensive.
キャプテンブルースさんのツアーが一番浅い場所まで行けるとのことなので、少し値は張りますが確実を狙いたくてこちらのツアーにしました。干潮の時間を調べて予約しましたが、膝下まで水がありました。がっかり。一番浅い所に行くまでに腰まで水に浸かりながら行くので、濡れる覚悟は必要ですね。天気が悪く思っていた景色が見れず残念でした。こればっかりは運ですね。顔を濡らしたくなかったのでシュノーケリングはパスしましたが、サップをさせて頂け楽しかったです。チップ込みで30000円は高く感じました。
Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour the other day. The sandbar is a mysterious space created by various natural conditions. Since it is an outdoor tour, it can be affected by the weather, but during such times, our staff is even more eager to ensure that you have a fun time. By the way, tips are appreciated only if you are satisfied with the service. We hope you will come back to visit the sandbar again to experience its different facets.
先日はキャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加頂きまして本当にありがとうございました。
サンドバーは様々な自然条件が織りなす不思議な空間です。また屋外でのツアーのため天候によっても左右されますが、そんな時こそ出来るだけ楽しいお時間を楽しんで頂けるようスタッフがより張り切ってお客様をお迎えしております。ちなみにチップはあくまでもお客様がサービスにご満足頂いた時のみご検討頂ければ嬉しいです。ぜひまた機会があれば違った表情のサンドバーに会いにお越し頂ければと思います。

I was concerned about the trip due to the rain in the morning, but I was relieved when the boat safely left the port. Unlike tours from certain companies, there were many international participants, which really enhanced the Hawaiian atmosphere. Due to the weather, we couldn't go to Molokini Island, but we snorkeled at Coral Garden and another location, where the underwater scenery was beautiful, and I lost track of time playing with the fish. The breakfast, lunch, and open bar were all satisfactory, and combined with the staff's attentiveness, I had a great time (I was a bit anxious about using the restroom due to my age, but that was not an issue). This was my third tour with Veltra, following the sandbar and catamaran cruise on Oahu, and I have never been disappointed. I would like to book another tour with Veltra to get my revenge on Molokini Island next time.
朝からの雨で決行自体が気になりましたが、無事船は港を離れひと安心。某社のツアーとは違い、海外の方の参加が多くハワイ気分は盛り上がります。天候の関係でモロキニ島には行けず、コーラルガーデンと他1か所でのシュノーケリングとなりましたが、海の中もとても綺麗で思わず時間を忘れ魚と戯れました。朝食・昼食・オープンバーともに十分な内容で、スタッフの方々の気遣いと併せて、とても楽しむことができました(年齢的にトイレの利用が不安でしたが、その点も問題なしでした)。オアフ島でのサンドバー、カタマランクルーズに続いてのベルトラでのツアーとなりますが、今まで外れはなく、次もベルトラでモロキニ島のリベンジをしたいと思います。

This was my first time signing up for a snorkeling tour as a beginner. True to its name, we were able to see sea turtles that we would never have encountered on our own and swim alongside them, which got both me and my child really excited. I’m not a strong swimmer and felt scared because of the depth, but Fumio held my hand and guided me, so I was able to enjoy it without any fear.
今回初めてシュノーケリング達人という事でツアー申し込みしました。
その名の通り自分達では絶対出会う事の出来ない海ガメを見られて間近で一緒に泳ぐ事ができて親子共々テンション上がりました。
私は泳ぎが苦手で水深もあり怖い気持ちもありましたがふみおさんが手を握って引っ張っていってくれたので恐怖心もなく楽しむ事が出来ました。

I didn't check the local tide chart, and the shuttle bus got caught in an accident-related traffic jam, which caused us to arrive at the port a bit late. As a result, the tide wasn't as low as I had imagined for walking on the sandbar, and the sandbar was submerged up to my knees. I was a little disappointed because I wanted to explore the sandbar. It seems that if you want to get onto the sandbar, it's best to check the tide chart and make a reservation. That said, the BBQ hamburger was exquisite. So delicious. The homemade ketchup and mayo sauce combined with the hamburger were just perfect, and it was worth eating just that. My whole family, including my kids (one girl and one boy, both in elementary school), had double burgers with double patties. The weather was bad, but we saw three sea turtles, and snorkeling in the clear ocean was amazing. My kids and I had plenty of fun just snorkeling. If the weather had been good, it would have been perfect!
現地の潮位表を確認しなかったのに加え、送迎バスも事故渋滞にはまって港に到着するのが少し遅れたこともあって、イメージしたサンドバーで砂洲の上を歩くような潮位にはならず、砂洲は膝下に水没した状態でした。砂洲を散策したかったので少し残念。砂洲にあがりたければ潮位表を確認して予約するのが良いみたい。とは言え、BBQのハンバーガーは絶品。うまい。自分で作るケチャップとマヨのソースとハンバーグがばっちりgoodでこれだけでも食べる価値有り。子供ともども家族全員パテダブルのダブルバーガーにしてもらいました。天候が悪かったけどウミガメは3匹見られたし、透明度の高い海でのシュノーケリングは最高。子供(女×1、男×1、ともに小学生)ともどもシュノーケルだけでも充分楽しめました。天気が良かったら最高だったのにな~。

I highly recommend it. It's right by Waikiki Beach, so you can enjoy it without wasting time and be very satisfied! I was surprised to see about five sea turtles up close. This was my first time snorkeling like this, and I was really moved. We also saw whales spouting from a distance while sailing! Plus, it ends at 11:30 (but actually lasts a solid three hours), so you can do other things in the afternoon, which is fantastic. Snacks are all-you-can-eat!
すごくオススメです。ワイキキビーチからすぐの所なので時間が取られることなく大満足できます!
ウミガメさんも5匹くらい普通に見れて結構そばに寄ってくれてびっくりしました☆
こんなシュノーケリングは初めてで感動しました。
セーリングでクジラの潮吹く所も遠目ではありましたが見れました!
しかも11:30には終わるので(でも実際3時間ガッツリ)午後から別の事も出来て最高です♬*゚スナックは食べ放題です( ¨̮ )

I participated in the morning of April 6th. The weather in Honolulu was a bit iffy, but it was nice to see clear skies once we arrived. There were only four of us, including my husband and me, so we could swim at a leisurely pace.
The visibility was a bit questionable when the weather turned cloudy, but the colorful fish swimming around made the underwater scenery beautiful! Our guide helped us find a honu, and I was able to swim with one!
It was my first time snorkeling, but our guide, Fumio, was always attentive, which made me feel safe while swimming. I had so much fun that I wished I could swim longer!
There was also a large sea lion napping on the beach! The guide mentioned that you can only see them a few times a year, so we were very lucky. I'm really glad we chose this tour with an expert guide instead of just going on our own or a transfer-only tour!
4/6午前中に参加しました。ホノルルの天気が微妙だったけど現地についたら晴れて良かったです^ ^
参加者は私達夫婦の他にもう一組ご夫婦の4人だけだったのでゆったり泳げました。
透明度はお天気が途中から曇ったりして微妙でしたが色とりどりの魚が泳いでいたりして海の中はとても綺麗!ガイドさんがホヌを探してくれて一頭のホヌと泳ぐ事が出来ました!!
初めてのシュノーケリングでしたがガイドのfumioさんが常に気にかけてくれて安心して泳げました!
もっと泳いでいたいと思うくらい楽しかったです^ ^
また砂浜に大きなアシカがいてお昼寝中でした!ガイドさんによると年に数回しか見れないよ!と言っていたのでとてもラッキーでした
個人で行ったり送迎のみのツアーではなく、達人ガイド付きのこのツアーにして本当に良かったです!!

It's understandable since they are living creatures, but I didn't get to see as much as I had hoped. However, it was adorable to see small fish gathering close enough to reach.
Also, the title "Swim with Wild Mantas!" suggests that you would be swimming alongside them, but in reality, it was more about hanging onto the board for 40 to 50 minutes, waiting patiently to see when they would come. The experience of being on the boat and enduring the cold until returning to port was also a test of endurance.
生き物なので仕方無いのでしょうが期待していたほど見れず、マンタ以外の小魚が手の届く処まで集まってきていたのが可愛かった。
またタイトルの「野生のマンタと泳ぐ!」は、いかにも一緒に泳ぐかのようですが、実際はボードにひたすら掴まって40~50分いつ来るかと期待しつつの忍耐力の修行、船に上がってから帰港するまでが寒さの修行でした。
Aloha!! Manta Tatta-sama,

We participated in this tour as a couple. The sight of many dolphins swimming in the sea was truly magical and moving. At the sea turtle spot, a turtle came right up to us, and we were so excited! We made sure not to touch it, so we carefully observed it instead. There were also many small fish, making it a truly satisfying tour. We will definitely join this tour again next time!
夫婦でこのツアーに参加しました。たくさんのイルカが海の中を泳ぐ姿は本当に幻想的で感動しました。ウミガメスポットでは目の前までウミガメが来てくれて大興奮!触ってはいけないので触れないよう気をつけながら観察しました。他にも小さな魚がたくさんいて本当に大満足のツアーでした。次も絶対このツアーに参加します!

I was worried about the weather, but the forecast was wrong, and I had a very valuable experience. The guide was very kind and worked hard to find sea turtles, allowing us to see them up close.
Since my child was able to participate in the activities, we used this service for the first time, and it was great.
お天気が心配でしたが天気予報が外れてくれて、とても貴重な体験が出来ました。
ガイドさんもとても親切で海ガメを一生懸命探してくださったお陰で、海ガメを近くに見ることが出来ました。
